how would i slow a for statement?
phflack:
ahh, thanks, is there anyway to stop a function while it's running? as i'm using this in the console to auto eat for the stranded gamemode, as i'm building and i don't want to die when i forget, would this work?
function eat(%i){commandtoserver('consume', "purifiedwater");commandtoserver('consume', "banana");if(%i != 5){schedule(10000, 0, eat);}else{break;}}
so, when i type eat(); it would loop, when i type eat(5);, it would stop?
edit: forgot ask in the OP, how would i put a message before a variable when talking, when using this: commandtoserver('messagesent', %i);

you would do this:
--- Code: ---function eat(%i) {
commandtoserver('consume',"purifiedwater");
commandtoserver('consume',"banana");
if(%i !="5") {
$eatsched=schedule(10000,0,eat);
}
else
{
cancel($eatsched);
}
}
--- End code ---
This would make it so when %i is anything but 5, it will eat and purifiedwater every 10 seconds. If %i is 5, then the schedule will stop.

but, it will update when i use 5, right? and by the way, i'm just using this for in the console, not for a client_eatcommand thing
edit: thanks, it worked, also, what is the $ sign for? i figured out % is for a variable

i would suggest just making it as a function in a script so you won't have to retype the whole thing over and over again, which is always a pain. that way, you could call it at any time without having to type the full function.
phflack:
true, i might go do that, basicaly that's the client.cs, and then add a description.txt and put it in client_eatcommand?
edit: i can put multiple functions in the same client.cs, right?
